This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: You are using the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin along with Contact Form 7 on your development site. You've noticed that the form name bar and shortcode for embedding the form do not appear when WPML is enabled. Solution: We recommend updating to the latest version of CF7 Multilingual, which is 1.3.2. This update addresses the issue with the form name bar and shortcode not appearing. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket for further assistance. You can do so at the WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am using the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin to display pages in different languages on a site under development. I am also using Contact Form 7.
Symptoms:
The WPML Multilingual CMS plugin causes the form name bar and shortcode for pasting the form directly into the page to not show up. Everything works fine only after disabling the plugin.
Questions:
How can I fix the issue with the form name bar and shortcode not showing up when WPML is enabled?
We suspect a collision with the theme or another plugin might cause this problem. If possible, get your site into a minimum environment, switching to a default WordPress theme like TwentyTwenty-Four and having no plugins activated except WPML.
First, you must check if the problem persists when just the theme is switched to TwentyTwenty-Four (for example). If it persists, deactivate all plugins except WPML and its add-ons and Contact Form 7 (without extensions). Then, please check if the problem persists. If it does not continue, start by activating the plugins individually and checking when the issue comes back, then report to me which plugin was the culprit.
